A new cold-storage facility is planned in Pharr’s industrial area near the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge, one of the nation’s leading ports of entry for fresh produce.
The $9.5 million project, listed as Lakeway II Phase I, calls for 56,000 square feet of refrigerated storage, warehouse space, and offices.
The development would support operations along a corridor that handles a significant share of U.S. fruit and vegetable imports, where demand for temperature-controlled space has grown alongside increased cross-border shipments.
The filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists Lakeway Foods LLC as the project owner and Pharr-based designer Humberto De Los Santos as the design firm.
Construction was scheduled to begin in July and is expected to be completed by July 2026.
This information is based on preliminary TDLR filings. Project plans, costs, and timelines may change, and not all proposed developments move forward.
